Easter Sunday – Ogden & SH.

Managed a quick trip to Ogden & SH today.

Where is spring? Cold North Easterly – Breezy on SH top.

Ogden 11:00.

Pied Wagtail: Goldfinch: Woodpigeon 3: Coal Tit.
Nuthatch on feeders and calling from trees.
Green Woodpecker still calling from woods at north end of Res.
A few Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler singing on the circuit. Also plenty of noisy Wren.
Treecreeper: Usual Blackbird and Robin  population.
Ogden Water very quiet.

Soil Hill 12:35.

A quick visit to SH on the way home from Ogden.

First Soil Hill Swallow keeping very low over the top of the meadow.

Many a Skylark singing & Meadow Pipit in abundance.

A solitary Wheatear and Linnet on the wall of the Bridleway from Perseverance to the old Pottery.  Most prob. a good few Linnet up there but I cannot id Linnet in flight (yet).
Lapwing in flight and 2 Woodpigeon in the Mast Field.


Homeward bound a wren
